Abstract: This paper presents two techniques for modeling the folding patterns of deployable nonaxisymmetric tubes using regular arrangement of the fold lines and three different fundamental folding designs, namely, Miura folding, ...

Abstract: As observed in the design of antenna reflectors and rocket bodies, both flat and 3Dshaped honeycomb cores are used in the field of aerospace engineering. This study illustrates a new strategy to fabricate arbitrary ...

Abstract: A new approach for obtaining the crease patterns of foldable conical structures from crease patterns of cylindrical structures based on the origami folding theory using conformal mapping is presented in this paper. Mapping ...

Abstract: This paper proposes a new method for designing the crease patterns of deployable membranes that can be wrapped up compactly. The method utilizes conformal mapping and the origami folding technique. The mapping of the flow ...
